    Price per lb in March 2026. They let you sample if you ask.
    Ngoc T.

    I tried this after seeing so many poke pictures and I'm shocked at how cheap it is compared to other poke places. I didn't realize it's a chain. There are roughly 5 locations and I can see why the local comes here and order togo. The fishes tasted fresh, and I love that they have different toppings you can order and is weigh by the pound. My favorites are the spicy garlic scallops, spicy garlic tako and shoyu ahi. The crunchy garlic adds a kick and the spicy chillies gives it more flavor and depth. Everything is good and I love that they add furikai seaweed flakes to the rice. You can buy as many scoops of rice as you like! The servers were nice and allow us to sample before purchase! The place itself is small and no seating inside, but I was able to score seats outside the restaurant! I'll come back if I come to vegas!

    Poke Express is hands down one of the best poke spots around. If you care about freshness and flavor, this place absolutely delivers. I ordered 1/3 lb of each - spicy mayo ahi, spicy avocado ahi, garlic ahi, garlic scallops, spicy garlic tako, and mussels, and every single item was a hit. The ahi was incredibly fresh and clean-tasting, with each preparation offering something different but equally delicious. The spicy options had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the fish, and the garlic versions were packed with bold flavor. The garlic scallops were tender, the spicy garlic tako had great texture and spice, and the mussels were flavorful and perfectly prepared. Fast, convenient, and consistently high quality--this is exactly how poke should be.

    If you've had poke from Hawaii and have felt withdrawals since coming back to the mainland... well lucky for you, this place hits the spot! The poke is all fresh! You order food deli style - so essentially from a counter. Takeout style. You order by weight and can add a side of rice topped with furikake. I ordered a few 1/2 and 1/3 lb bowls of poke to try out different flavors. I really enjoyed the Ahi Furikake and Tako special. No seating inside. There are two small tables outside. The service was great! By the way, you can ask to taste the poke before make your selections. :)

    I love this place so much! The music , the people, and the smell of the store was so nostalgic. There's a little fridge filled with groceries for sale and even a small section with baked goodies like banana bread , butter mochi, etc. the banana bread ($12) was very fluffy and light ! The fish it self was so so good! They sell by weight so much better! I got the furikake salmon (sweet and soft) , shoyu ahi (fresh, didn't taste bloody or fishy at all, I'm really picky with ahi), spicy ahi (not too spicy). Once you pick your fish you can get scoop of rice with furikake ($.75). Really love this place compared to other poke places, cheaper here too.

    There was a line as soon as I entered and by the time I got up to the counter a line formed behind me so it is a popular spot. I ordered a 1/3 lb of 4 different pokes which came out to $6-7 dollars a tub, a total of $27 which was a steal. I tried out the 4 different poke types I ordered and recommend the lava flow and the spicy avocado ahi pokes. The poke was very good and fresh and the prices were unbeatable in value. It's no wonder there's lines here. The place looked like a mini poke grocery store. The selection of poke was vast and I can't wait to come back and sample some more of the other types of poke they have. I feel like I found a hidden gem finding this place. I definitely recommend ordering poke here for the great prices and fresh, delicious selections.

    I really loved: Kihei Poke I loved: Daily Special Salmon Aioli The Kihei Poke is an insane blend. It's savory with a perfect balance of soy, sesame, green onion, and that classic shoyu style vibe that just hits. Nothing overpowers anything else. It's not too salty, not too sweet, not too heavy. Just straight up addictive deliciousness. I swear I could eat three pounds of this and still want more. #goodeats The Daily Special Salmon Aioli is excellent too. The aioli is smooth and super noticeable in the best way. It coats the salmon perfectly without drowning it. The salmon tastes super fresh and there's a light kick that keeps it interesting. Every bite feels clean but flavorful. The inside is a small shop with no tables so it's strictly grab and go. The staff are really nice though. They let me sample a few different scoops and were super chatty which made the whole stop feel welcoming. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

    Omg this is one of my top spots! So fresh so clean and delicious poke. The staff is beyond amazing and kind. I visit at least once a week, probably more than I should haha I would go as far as to say it is the best Poke in town! 100%

    Poke Express is a Hawaiian seafood paradise, and definitely reminds me of home in the islands. Their service is top notch; you can even request for samples which is unheard of in Hawaii because ahi, and fish in general, are expensive commodities. I got their Spicy Lava Flow Poke (4.5/5), a sweet rendition of the spicy ahi with unagi sauce. I wish it was more spicy so might go back to their regular spicy ahi next time. Their ambiance, the customers and clerks speaking pidgin/Hawaiian Creole brings a smile to my face since it reminds me so much of home. I love Poke Express and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try authentic Hawaiian style poke!

    My first three experiences of eating here was when I'm in SoCal and our friends generously grabbed some for us to try. OMG. That was the best poke I have ever had outside of Hawaii. Finally, I'm here in person and it's even better in real life. We came in on a Friday during dinner time and the wait wasn't too crazy long. The workers were fast and the fish looked fresh. We got the lava flow, rainbow and wasabi ahi. It was great and soo good. The wasabi ahi was a new one we haven't tried yet and it was great. My personal fav is the lava flow but it can be heavy, this one def needs to be eaten with rice.

    Elite level poke! Poke Express was impressive. I had them bookmarked and luckily for my wife and I we had time to stop in. The location has plentiful parking. The doors were opening and closing constantly due to the many customers showing up for this poke. From the moment you walk in, the Aloha vibes are felt from the staff. Good reggae and hip hop music were playing over the speakers. The location has so many options of poke. If I had to guess about 20 different styles. They also offer drinks, chocolates, chips and candies. Not to mention, store merch like hats and tees. The staff were funny, personable and most of all so welcoming. You can choose your poke by the 1 pound, 1/2 pound or 1/3 pound. Most of the options were $17.49 per pound. Rice is offered for .75¢ if you desire. Since we wanted to try more options we ordered three separate 1/3lb containers of the Furikake Salmon, Rainbow and Garlic Ahi. Entire order came out to about $20! Sweet deal! We were given chopsticks and napkins. To note: they offer rewards programs for points that do not expire. We ended up enjoying some of the poke outside where they have a table. First bites of each one were unforgettable! We chose 3 great options. The freshness of the fish can be seen by the vibrancy in their color. The quality was incredible. My favorite of the 3 had to be the Furikake Salmon. It had a great mixture of sweetness and umami flavor. So addictively good! Poke Express lived up to its ratings for me. I'm sure it easily a local favorite for Vegas residents in the area. If you find yourself near here, please give them a try! Thanks, Poke Express! ( ^_^)b

    Quick service counter serving very high quality poke, with plenty of options as far as the sauces and marinades. We enjoyed it a lot, if I went back I'd probably add more to the Nachos order, just as is it was a little plain. All in all, a great stop if your craving poke by the tub.

    Poke Express is a small shop that serves a variety of authentic poke. My husband and I came here recently during our Vegas trip. At the time we arrived, there were many guests coming in and out of the shop. There were about 4 staff members all welcoming, personable, and hard-working. While we were perusing their poke selections, we were pleased to learn they offer different weight options: 1lb, 1/2lb, and 1/3lb. We ordered 3 1/3lb poke: Garlic Ahi, Furikake Salmon, and the Rainbow. Our favorite was the Furikake Salmon. It had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and umami. We spent under $20 on this trip. I can see why they are a 5-star shop. They live up to the hype! I would definitely like to come back and try the other options.

    Definitely one of my favorite poke spots that I can't wait to come back to next time I'm in Vegas. Plenty of parking out front but no seating inside. We took a while to order because we had a big group but the employees were very friendly and patient They had so many different options like salmon, ahi, tako, scallops, etc. that came in a bunch of different sauces as well. They have different containers such as 1/3 lb, 1/2 lb, 1lb, etc. so you choose your size and the fish/side that you want We ordered approximately 4 pounds of food + 2 scoops of rice per person for 7 people total. We probably had maybe 1/3 lb of salmon left at the end so I think that was a pretty good amount for us. The rice scoops are pretty decent size though so keep that in mind if you don't like a lot of rice. I also loved that it came with a lot furikake Everything was super good but the furikake salmon and limu ahi were the standouts for me

We also came on the right day because the Wednesday special was a steal: Garlic Chicken (sub Portuguese sausage) for $10. Honestly one of the best food deals I've found in Vegas lately. The garlic chicken was savory, comforting, and paired perfectly with the rice -- simple food done really well. And if you're coming with kids (or just love dessert), don't skip the mochi donuts. My kids demolished them within minutes, and the taro flavor was the unanimous favorite. What I love most is that Paina Cafe doesn't try to overcomplicate things -- it delivers solid Hawaii comfort food that feels authentic, satisfying, and welcoming. If you're missing local-style Hawaii plate lunches or just want something different from the usual Vegas options, this spot absolutely hits the mark. Will definitely be back when the island food cravings kick in again.
